Can you see the real me?
Can you? Can you?

I went back to the doctor to get another shrink
I sit and tell him about my weekend
But he never betrays what he thinks

Can you see the real me, doctor, doctor?
Can you see the real me, doctor?
Woh, doctor

I went back to my mother
I said, 'I'm crazy ma, help me'
She said, 'I know how it feels son
'Cause it runs in the family'

Can you see the real me, mother, mother?
Can you see the real me, mother?
Woh mother

Can you see , can you see, can you see the real me
Can you see, can you see the real me
The real me, the real me, the real me

The cracks between the paving stones like rivers of flowing veins
Strange people who know me peeping from behind every window pane
The girl I used to love lives in this yellow house
Yesterday she passed me by she doesn't want to know me now
Why don't you?

Can you see the real me, can you, can you?
Can you see the real me, can you?
Why you hey?

I ended up with the preacher full of lies and hate
I seemed to scare him a little
So he showed me to the golden gate

Can you see the real me preacher, preacher?
Can you see the real me preacher

Can you see , can you see, can you see
Can you see the real me doctor?
Can you see the real me mother?

Can you see the real me, me, me
Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me?
